When airbrushing, use one of the following Tamiya thinners: X-20A Acrylic Paint Thinner (10ml, 23ml, 46ml, or 250ml), or Lacquer Thinner (Retarder Type) 250ml. Using Lacquer Thinner yields faster drying and a harder finish. For better brush results, use Tamiya Paint Retarder (87114) for a smoother, brushstroke-free finish.
